Cold case: ‘Precious’ girl disappeared in ’77

By Philip Rosenbaum
New York (CNN) — Eva Debruhl, 15, was last seen nearly 33 years ago, cutting the front lawn of her family’s home in Rock Hill, South Carolina, with a push mower.

Her sister describes Eva Debruhl, who vanished at age 15, as sweet and innocent.

“Eva loved to cut grass, as we both did,” said her older sister, Tami Settlemyer, 49. “There was just something about cutting grass that we both enjoyed.”

But Debruhl wasn’t at the door to greet her sister when she came home from her summer job at the local textile mill late in the afternoon of June 29, 1977. She had missed lunch with her grandmother, who lived in another house on the family’s 9-acre spread. And Debruhl’s best friend’s family had not seen her, either.
